“Lexington County offered us a great location and has the positive business environment we are seeking”, states Jim Krahn, Interstate Container Leader for Process & Product Innovation. Krahn, responsible for Interstate Container Columbia’s launch, anticipates creating up to 100 jobs in Columbia within a year.

Krahn continues,

“I have never been more proud of a team in my 33-year career. The start up with a performance like this is phenomenal. The best equipment, highly motivated teams and good coaching from our leaders and suppliers make for a great recipe for success.”

John Cristos, Interstate Container Columbia Site Leader, states, “The hard work that the team has put over the last several months is paying off. We are off to a good start and looking forward to an outstanding 2012.”
